I need to get custom email template in admin system configuration.

system.xml

This is my email template field code.

<email_template>
    <label>Email Template</label>
    <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
    <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
    <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
    <sort_order>5</sort_order>
    <frontend_type>select</frontend_type>
    <source_model>adminhtml/system_config_source_email_template</source_model>
</email_template>

config.xml 

<template>
    <email>
    <custom_email_template translate="label" module="mymodule">
    <label>Custom Email Template</label>
    <file>mymodule/custom_email.html</file>
    <type>html</type>
    </custom_email_template>
    </email>

I have find the solution i made a mistake in my config.xml file.

We have to define the mail template like this

<template>
    <email>
        <{section_name}_{group_name}_{fields_name} translate="label" module="mymodule">
        <label>Custom Email Template</label>
        <file>mymodule/custom_email.html</file>
        <type>html</type>
        </{section_name}_{group_name}_{fields_name}>
    </email>
</template>

{section_name} {group_name} {fields_name} in system.xml file.

Cheers

As i guess you forgot to add your template in Transcriptional emails tab

just follow below steps to do it work,

System > Transactional Emails >

and click ‘Add new template’

Edit if you want to edit your template subject or content. Otherwise leave it as it is.

And then check in your system configuration tab will sure appear in your custom system configuration tab.

I have own tested in my set up it is working for me.

hope this will sure help you to solve your custom email template.

  • this is default selection from xml it is not fetching your custom name from transaction email. if you want to display in drop down you should have to follow above steps. and i am sure it will work because it is working at my end. – liyakat Sep 23 '13 at 06:14
